We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at Island Echos, Rhonda. We are excited that you had a great time in spite of the renovation work going on. It will be fantastic when it's done. We look forward to your return.
The staff was beyond helpful and sweet at the property. It also is completely gated which was extremely nice and added an extra sense of safety. The double beds were a tad bit on the small side, but I cannot recommend this property enough.
The most convenient place we have had the pleasure of staying at. Walk in the front door from the car walk out the back door to the pool and a small walk to the beach.
We took my 86 yr old grandma to see the emerald Coast and we all enjoyed it. It was easy and great for her to get in and out of the condo. The bed for get was comfortable and so grateful for the walk in shower she could use! Clean and the kitchen had everything we needed!
Really enjoyed our stay. Loved walking straight out on the pool deck and proximity to the beach. Condo was clean and comfortable. There was a lamp that looked broken in the master when we arrived, but other than that, it was a beautiful condo with everything we needed for a short weekend in Fort Walton.
I don't recommend this location if splashing children and loud property workers bother you. No actual view of the ocean but otherwise nice.

Enjoyed our stay.
The condo was nicely decorated, but the carpets in the bedrooms seemed to have a musty odor. The window coverings in the one bedroom that has 2 full beds, needs to be replaced, wouldn't cover the window and the pool area was right outside the window.

We really enjoyed this condo! The pool location made going to and from swimming with children so easy (no dragging huge bags of snacks and toys for the kids, convenient for going back to the condo for bathroom breaks) that we spent more time there than at the beach. The times we were on the beach were equally wonderful, the beach service personnel were helpful and friendly, and the weather was nice enough in October to enjoy the water and sand. Grocery/meal delivery is readily available if you subscribe to those services online, and we had an overall relaxing trip. This is a great property for families and located nearby convenience stores, restaurants, and attractions.
Location great. Management staff great. Liked having the pool right outside the condo. Issue with nasty dirty (brownish) dust ruffle and one towel. Guy in charge of the beach chairs very rude. Overall, we were there with family to have a time of rest together and enjoy the peace
of the beach. Mission accomplished.
Some of the power outlets didn’t work and the hair dryer looked like it had overheated and was partially melted. Every morning we had to wait or ask that our gate be unlocked by pool staff so we could access the pool. They treated us like children and we felt like they were watching every move. On our last day someone knocked on our door about 915 am and asked if we were about to leave so they could clean. That just made us stay until exactly 10.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Secret. We’re sorry to hear about the issues with the outlets, hair dryer, and the overall feeling of discomfort around the pool access. That’s certainly not the experience we want guests to have. The outlets and hair dryer have since been addressed, and we’re working with the pool team to ensure access is handled more respectfully and consistently. We also apologize for the early knock on your door. Check-out reminders should always be courteous and never feel rushed. Your feedback helps us improve, and we’d love the opportunity to welcome you back for a more relaxed and enjoyable stay.
The location of this unit is just perfect! Steps, STEPS from the pool and the short boardwalk to the ocean is on the other side of the pool.
The bed size is better than most condos. No twin beds or bunk beds for adults trying to stretch out. The in-unit laundry was the cherry on top! TWO full bathrooms. Seriously... we love this condo and will book again!

Great location on the beach. First floor is awesome and the pool is right outside my door. Pretty quiet with a total variety of size and age groups staying there.
Disappointed that the light switched in both bedrooms didn’t work. Fan in single bed is dangerous when you have it on hi. No excuse for mechanical deficiencies.
The couch was uncomfortable & I did see a few roaches in the condo. I had to check out a day early because of a family emergency in GA & they didn’t even offer any of my money back. I was a little unhappy about that. Other than that it was very conviently located. Loved being so close to the pool.
